There’s never a bad time for a good laugh!  

Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get yours here!

This is some crazy stuff! 0_0

I thought this was gonna be a cover of the Focus classic 'Hocus Pocus', but instead it's a mashup Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 3 Deep Purple songs ('Burn', 'Stormbringer', and 'Highway Star'), and a bit of The Edgar Winter Group's 'Frankenstein'. Oh, and a bit of 'Foreplay' by Boston thrown in towards the end. A brilliant metal/prog mashup! =D

All sung / riffed / soloed over the main theme of 'Hocus Pocus'. (they omit the yodeling and scatting)

F Yeah America!

The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Phillips Sousa

p.s. the ‘94 Piccolos’ bit comes in towards the end, when the orchestra play the song again and there are 90+ piccolo players in the crowd. =D

This is a 1998 live set from Marc Bonilla and his band, with guest appearances on some songs by Keith Emerson (r.i.p.) and Glenn Hughes.  One of the best versions I’ve ever heard of Tarkus! (the Emerson, Lake & Palmer classic epic from 1971).  Tarkus starts at 33:17. 

Insane guitar and great playing throughout this album. And I didn’t even know of its existence until about an hour ago, how does a thing like this stay a secret, LOL?!  (Apparently released in 2013, nobody tells me nothin’!)

Track List: 1.Afteburner   00:00; 2. Long Journey Home 04:12 ; 3. Hoedown 07:16  4. A Whiter Shade of Pale 11:44 ; 5.White Noise. 17:24 6. Cover Me  22:51 7. Nutrocker   28:12  8. Tarkus  33:11 9.  Dreams  52:13 10 Middle Of A Dream 1:01:51
